If i install the 4.57 gear in my 02 would i be able to hang with 350z's?

 

You should already be able to hang with a stock 350z....if you put the gears you should pull nicely on them.

 

haha hang!?! dude the S is already a bit faster then the z in stock form. with the gears you'll pull hard.

 

Please explain why the S2k is faster than Z in a stock form? I thought we went through this topic million times already, it's a driver race. Simply saying the S2k is faster than Z in stock form is a ricer comment.... I love the S but we need to back up comments like that...... no hard feelings

 

its faster 0-60, or in a stoplight battle till about 80, then big v6 torque starts to pull. thats my experience with a Z. i can get them through the first two gears then i get pulled on. oh and if you mess up your launch, you'll get left behind. the Z is a VERY good match for the s, dont underestimate them.

 

I have both. I can be side to side if driving both at the same time. That's how even they are.

 

My opinion is that stock for stock both S and Z are driver's race, throw in the 4.57 gear in the S and it's over for the Z. Both cars are equally matched stock so it's like you're asking if you throw in nitrous in the Z and lefted the S stock, which do you think will win? Z however pulls up top, S pulls down low so both are evenly matched. 4.57 gear pulls in every gear (so I've heard) so a S should pull on the Z with no problem.

 

Even with the gears don't underestimate them...it still won't be a blow out.

 

Are you serious dude!?! Holy shit. yes we've been through this before, and why is it hard to believe that the S is slightly faster. I never said it was no drivers race. Let's say both have equal drivers, and both launch perfectly, the S is going to pull the Z period. From a roll the Z will have a better chance because it's weight effects it's performence less. I keep hearing about some of these Z's, or S drivers being pulled on after 110-120, but in my experience it's yet to happen from a roll. Please define what a ricer comment means exactly since your so ready to call my comment one....

 

There will be a nice 5 car difference for the S2000
